Why not? There’s still people born who’ve never played those games and come across them. And besides preserving legacy media is actually a worthwhile cause.

Control of the house, senate, presidency and Judiciary.

Can be, but less likely given how ubiquitous Windows is on major systems across all industries.

It’s security through small market share. There’s just not enough major organizations using Linux as a default to warrant large numbers of all manor of gray or black hats to dig deep into finding the exploits.

Honestly, it holds up. Sure there’s fewer polygons, but more polygons doesn’t mean it looks better.

Then the half eclipse would be wrong, 50% eclipse wouldn’t be a straight line across the diameter. An eclipse is two circles intersecting, not shadow sweeping across a sphere.

Yup the flour is very likely to contain e coli. The eggs are still a risk with salmonella but the e coli is a much greater and more potent risk

Terrorism is actually a pretty simple but specific definition. Terrorists use unlawful violence and threats of violence to influence the government or an international governmental organisation, or to intimidate the public. They do this in pursuit of a political, religious, racial or ideological cause.

It doesn’t take much money or many resources to engage in violence or even make threats. Certainly having money and resources at your disposal make you more effective but it’s a rather low but still specific bar to cross to be considered a terrorist.

If you’re not going to take the effort type “can a government use patents” into Google and look at the top link. It took me less than a minute to find that government using a patent is just baked into the patent system. There’s not additional law around it. So it might be better to go the WD 40 route and never actually file a patent to the formula to avoid sharing the formula publicly.

That’s… not how eminent domain works…? Like it’s scope only applied to stuff like building sidewalks, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure.

Because it’s a lot easier for Disney to churn out mickey mouse cartoons than it is for General Electric to come up with an entirely new rotating joint for the helicopter mounted motorized minigun

Thanks! I still def recommend checking out the video. It’s a really fascinating topic.

Sort of, basically because mercury has the small orbit it spends the most time closer on average to any other planet. The CGP Grey video someone else posted is a really good explanation as to what’s going on.

Delaware checking I’m we basically had the TI 83 or TI-84

Even as citizens there is precedent for legal violence, like carving out space for self defense. And the existence of combat sports like Boxing, Wrestling, and MMA.

The best definition we have for terrorism is the threat or use of illegal violence to influence the people beyond the immediate area of the attack to achieve a political, religious, ideological or monetary goal.

It’s not necessarily making a moral judgement about terrorism, just how it works. Al Qaeda is a terrorist organization because they used violence and threatened more with the goal of influencing US foreign policy on the basis of Fundamentalist Islamic theology. The IRA were also terrorists for their use and threats of violence with the political goal of unifying Ireland as one nation and taking it back from the British monarchy. Even the Founding Father’s of the US could be considered terrorists by this definition. They destroyed property and killed British citizens in our bid for independence affecting the decisions of the monarchy and parliament an entire ocean away.

Of course, the a.i. should never be able to run any commands by itself.

Oh you sweet summer child, that’s like handing a toddler a gun and telling them not to shoot anyone.

Unfortunately for Calvin, an eloquent and well thought out speech about the death of craftsmanship and ruthless mechanical efficiency wasn’t on topic to the assignment about what you did over the summer (or whatever other assignment it is)

Allow me to quote a great political philosopher of our time: Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses.

There are quite a few people embedded in our political machinery, in congress, in the supreme court and held the presidency, that are actively working on overthrowing the government and replacing it a fascist state. The police who showed up and supported the jan 6 insurrection are doing exactly what that contingent of fascists want, they did not falter, they did exactly what their superiors wanted.
